Norma, New Batch or Fake?
This batch is different looking than the normas I've seen in the past, and I am concerned. The heads of the new batch are cleaner and neater in terms of how it was put on. The top no longer needs to be cut off but instead it can be bitten off because it is pre-cut half way on both sides, as you can see in the second image. The font is noticeably different, in the blue square Norma is written in Italics. The label is longer. On the bottom instead where is used to say Norma Hellas A.E it says Norma Hellas S.A., is this some sort of country code? It no longer has the second line of gibberish (Greek) but it has a serial number vertically sitting by the blue square - FM10-12987. The bottles still have the rounded corners, the disclaimer in the back says the same thing but strangely enough the production date is different (The second batch he sent me was newer!)but the expiration date is the same. The stamp is thinner. Neither one look like the stamp was printed at the same time as the label. The shape of the amp is identical in both vials and the Norma logo is still printed in blue inside the vial. That’s pretty much all the differences I can notice. Oh yeah, and seemingly the new vial came with 0.1 more of a CC. Do you guys think these were manufactured in a different country, a newer design of vials, or just flat out fake???
